The globe is 500 years old but this template is based on much older maps and true scientific testable repeatable observations. It all looks perfectly reasonable—the projection has a long and distinguished history, and the arms seem useful enough. You have now got the absolute corresponding difference of time between New York and London, which is five [00 hours in round numbers.

My invention has reference to certain mechanical devices and geographical illustrations, to be used on a flat circular map of the world, and will be fully and clearly hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accom panyingdrawings, in which- Figure 1 represents a flat circular map of the world, showing the outlines of the several continents, some ofthe larger islands, the indicating arms and other matter which will be more clearly hereinafter shown.

At first look Gleason’s map is visually striking but otherwise innocuous: a north-polar azimuthal equidistant projection, enlivened by a bright-red horizon ring, with two rotating “indicator arms” to be used for determining the times at different locations. the twenty four meridian lines are divided near the periphery into quarters each representing quarters of an hourand at the periphery into sixty divisions each representing minutes of meridian time.

I find record of but one other having appeared on the antiquarian market, sold by me a few years back, and but three holdings in institutional collections. A little way in from the periphery and at the twenty four hour divisions, are shown the hours of the day in Roman numerals, indicated by the letter, E, and commencing the reckoning of time from Greenwich, London, or on the line F. Both zetetic astronomy and Christopher’s map made their way across the Atlantic and found adherents here in the United States, Alexander Gleason among them. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.
